Vietnam Lyrics - Ultimate Collection - Jimmy Cliff

Hey, Vietnam, Vietnam 

Vietnam, Vietnam 

Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam 

Yesterday, I got a letter from my friend fighting in Vietnam 

And this is what he had to say 

"Tell all my friends that I'll be coming home soon 

My time'll be up some time in June 

Don't forget", he said, "To tell my sweet Mary 

Her golden lips are sweet as cherry" 

And it came from Vietnam, Vietnam 

Vietnam, Vietnam 

Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam 

It was just the next day, his mother got a telegram 

It was addressed from Vietnam 

Now mistress Brown, she lives in the USA 

And this is what she wrote and said 

"Don't be alarmed", she told me the telegram said 

"But mistress Brown your son is dead" 

And it came from Vietnam, Vietnam 

Vietnam, Vietnam 

Vietnam, Vietnam, hey, Vietnam 

Somebody please stop that war now 

Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, oh 

Vietnam, Vietnam, oh 

Vietnam, oh oh, oh oh 

Somebody please stop it 

Vietnam, Vietnam, oh 

Vietnam, Vietnam, oh oh, oh oh 

Vietnam, hey, Vietnam, aha 

Vietnam, oh oh, yeah 

I wanna say now somebody stop that war 

Vietnam, oh yeah, aha
